Notes
The hut was OK when we found it & still had saw blades hanging on the walls. It was hard to find in the bush behind the saw mill site, which has a pelton wheel, saw blade & fuming supply from a water race up the ridge behind. It is marked on the old series metric topo maps with the water race above. Edit Hut

I spoke with a guy today who confirmed my suspician that this hut is no longer standing. It can be recorded as removed/gone.

This hut may well have collapsed? We found the sawmill remains and some crumpled corrugated iron though no standing hut. I also found a different hut site just under 1km downstream. Hutty and I may go back and have another look as yet another nearby hut site is marked on an old map and we have not checked it out yet.

Having trouble remembering what hut's you've visited?
